Joli lieu de visite gratuit avec un guide (italien ou anglais) pour les français nous avons 2 documents explicatifs pour la villa. Le jardin est sympa avec ses agrumes.

La grandiosa, bella e ricca di storia villa medicea non deve far trascurare un passaggio nella parte posteriore, con questo giardino digradante non grande, e perfettamente curato.
